Answer:

c) melatonin

Explanation:

Melatonin its a hormone formed by the pineal gland, which regulates an individual wake cycles and sleep. Jetlag alters the hormone function leading to an alteration with the body clock of the persom.

Jetlag is a sleep disorder common to those who travel swiftly over several time zones. It is not a permanent sleep disorder. Its due to the body's internal clock lacking sync with cues generated in a different time zone, Cues may be due to light exposure and how often the person eats.

A basic factor on ones internal clock is sunlight. It controls the regulation of melatonin which aid in synchronizing cells in the body.

Specific cells of the tissue at retina moves the light signals the thypothalamus.

At night, the hypothalamus signal to the pineal gland to produce melatonin. At daylight hours, the reverse is the case.

nydimaria [60]

The answer is copper. Nonrenewable resources are those that cannot be readily/naturally replaced at rates that match those of consumption (an aspect that allow renewable resources to be sustainable). Copper are made deep in earth at very slow rates hence do not readily renew themselves. Organisms, on the other hand die, and are naturally replaced by offspring.

Yanka [14]

Elephants have multiple copies of the p53 genes that play an important role in the control of cell division.

<h3>What is the role of p53 genes in elephants?</h3>

P53 is an important regulator of the DNA repair processes and controls uncontrolled cell proliferation. When DNA is harmed, the protein becomes active and aids in orchestrating a response that stops DNA replication and fixes any incorrect copies of the cell. The oncogene MDM2 E3 ubiquitin ligase, another protein, is responsible for deactivating the p53 repair activity in duplicated cells with intact DNA since it is not required.

A human with only two alleles from a single gene has much fewer molecular anti-cancer interactions than an elephant, which has 40 alleles, or versions, from its twenty p53 genes. Although the elephant may appear to have excessive genetic diversity, each of its 40 alleles is structurally slightly different.

I understand the question you are looking for is this:

Compared to humans, elephants have a dramatically low instance of cancer. Elephants have multiple copies of the _____ genes that play an important role in the control of cell division.
